Finkelstein is today's number one whipping boy for the American right-wing Zionist claque. He points out, and explains, how "controversy" on the Israel-Palestine question is contrived in order to distract attention from the factual record.

Norman G. Finkelstein is one of the world's foremost authorities on the
Israel-Palestine conflict and the politics of anti-Semitism. His work has
been enthusiastically praised by many of the leading scholars in the
fields he works in, including Raul Hilberg, Avi Shlaim, Sara Roy, Edward
Said and Noam Chomsky. He was fired from DePaul University after a
high-profile dispute about academic freedom with Harvard Law Professor
and Zionist icon Alan Dershowitz. His website is www.normanfinkelstein.com.

This lecture was presented under the auspices of the Palestinian Elective Series at BC, and sponsored by several departments, associations, and projects there, including the Arab Student Association, Moslem Student Association, Fine Arts Department, Sociology Department, Mideast and Islamic Studies Department, and Global Justice Project.
